Why Unemployment, When Nigeria's Military Strenght Is Weak?
According to Ventures Africa, Nigeria places 3rd Largest Economy with a GDP of $377.9 billion, just behind Egypt which has $497.88 billion and South Africa with GDP of $524 billion. Renaissance Capital report says Nigeria can surpass South Africa's Economy by 2014.
So why is unemployment a huge challenge in Nigeria?
We are Africa's most populous nation. i think we can invest in our population. Reduce unemployment, you reduce poverty. For every above age 20 individual there are at least 2 dependants. Now that's why poverty is prevalent.
Our military strenght is yet to be what it should be, Nigeria churns hundreds of thousands of graduates annually. (Ask NYSC). How about recruiting these young smart unemployed graduates. They'd be glad to fight for their country and get taken care of!
Let's take a cue from Developed Countries. I selected America and Canada. See what they do for their people!
U.S : 561,437 Active personnel
566,364 Reserve and National Guard personnel
1,127,801 total see: US Army Wikipedia
